An electron cloud does not have a specific radius -- it is in fact a probability distribution.
An analogy is the atmosphere. What is the radius of the atmosphere? You can't give one number because there is no dividing line where the atmosphere exist on one side but doesn't on the other. Instead, it just gets thinner and thinner and thinner... (see the Related Questions to the left for more about the sky).
You can meaningfully talk about a radius that includes a percentage of the total. For instance, you can say that at some radius, you will find the electron inside that radius 95% percent of the time. But if you picked the radius where it would be 99% of the time inside, it would be much larger. To have the percentage be exactly 100%, the radius would be infinite!
Because of this complication, atomic radii are usually determined by the distance between to atoms when they are in a bond together -- and is taken to be approximately half the distance between the two nuclei (although it is slightly more complicated than that in fact).
The electron probability density gradually drops as you move further from the nucleus, but it never quite goes to zero, so you'd need to choose a more or less arbitrary limiting value to decide where the cloud "ended." It makes a lot more sense to define the radius as something with an actual physical meaning, such as the point where the potential between two atoms switches from attractive to repulsive.
The atomic radius is defined: covalent, ionc, Van der Waals radius.
The relation between electron affinity and atomic radius is inversely proportional.
The element krypton's atomic radius is 189 pm. This is a measurement of its atom sizes or the distance between the electron cloud and the nucleus.
This is because of the fact atomic radius is the distance of the outermost electron to the nucleus thus as more electrons are added the distance increase (which cause atomic radius to change)
Na has a higher atomic radius then Na+, since it still has it's outer electron (3s).
Aluminum has a larger radius than Boron because there are more electron filled 'orbitals' around its nucleus. Atomic radius increases down a group for that reason.
The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius
The atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost orbital of electron.
The relation between electron affinity and atomic radius is inversely proportional.
the positive ionic radius is smaller than the neutral atomic radius
Atomic Radius means the size of the atoms, the distance from the atomic nucleus to the outermost electron orbital.
Lithium has a larger atomic radius than hydrogen.
The element krypton's atomic radius is 189 pm. This is a measurement of its atom sizes or the distance between the electron cloud and the nucleus.
This is because of the fact atomic radius is the distance of the outermost electron to the nucleus thus as more electrons are added the distance increase (which cause atomic radius to change)
The atomic radius of cation is smaller than its parent atom.This is because of the removal of electron from the parent atom.
Na has a higher atomic radius then Na+, since it still has it's outer electron (3s).
The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius
The atomic radius decreases along the elements across a period. Along a group, there is an increment in the atomic radius of corresponding elements.
